@Magic Banana,
I agree with you.
Here's my thoughts on the topic:-
GNU IceCat is built keeping user freedom and privacy as the top-notch
priority; SPY Block, HTTPS Everywhere!, Tor Proxy and LibreJS are a few tools
to defend the user from known vulnerabilities. (And of course, they are free
as in free speech....!!)
Abrowser too has HTML5 Video and its custom homepage add-on. Tor proxy is
available to Abrowser too, provided you have installed GNU IceCat. (Tor proxy
comes pre-installed with GNU IceCat.)
Abrowser tracks the most recent Firefox build, whereas IceCat tracks the ESR
release; (Similar to Ubuntu's LTS edition, Trisquel GNU/Linux's upstream.)
As a result, GNU IceCat is generally more stable, while latest features from
Firefox are available on Abrowser.
